| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely engraved scene adapted from a medieval illumination depicting Hildegard von Bingen seated in three-quarter view, wearing a nun's habit and veil, writing in a large open codex while holding a stylus. Above and to the left, a hand descends from a halo, representing divine inspiration, with rays of light directed toward the saint. She holds a crozier in her right hand, indicative of her abbatial rank. An angular cartouche across the lower field bears the inscription 'LIBER SCIVIAS DOMINI', referencing her celebrated visionary work, while the dates '1098' and '1179' flank the left field, and the legend 'HILDEGARD VON BINGEN' arcs across the upper periphery. |
